Prefect Danielle Koskie and The Telluric Command Council sat on high-backed chairs at the far end of the room. "Captain Haze McKnight, this critical mission we are asking you to undertake is to travel to planet Earth and transport cases of red crystal antitoxin serum to designated hospitals and two, locate two female members of the Koskie family and bring them here to us." 

“Planet Earth is nine solar systems away? It’s a big chunk of space. There are asteroids, comets, and clouds of interstellar dust, wormholes, star novae, and massive black holes. The only way to get there is to make a “space/time jump” through a traversable wormhole which will allow supraliminal travel, a very dicey move."

          "You’re a skilled, experienced space pilot and intergalactic astral-navigator. You’ve explored other planets and star systems and you understand the complexities and hazards of space travel. You are the perfect one to do this.  How 'bout it?”
